The 2022 Cadillac CT4 needs a lot of work before it can genuinely compete with other entry-level luxury sedans. Its promise of grandeur is spoiled by ergonomic errors, costly options and a downright uncomfortable ride. The CT4 pales in comparison to modern rivals that do a far better job of providing modern comfort at a similar — or often better — price point.

Highly Disappointed

2022 Cadillac CT4 Sport 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I worked hard to purchase my brand new 2022 CT4 with every bell and whistle right off of the showroom floor. It was an achievement and dream come true. Its turned into a nightmare. Thank God for warranties because this thing has been in the shop every other month. One thing after another. From a faulty mass airflow sensor, to crank shaft problems, fuel tank problems, etc. All of these … issues have effected my gas mileage to the point coworkers driving diesel pickup trucks are getting better fuel efficiency on the highway. I wanted a cadillac so bad. I just had to have it and chose it over BMW, Audi, and Mercedes. Outside of my cadillac LOOKING beautiful inside and out, its been a turd. I got about 90 days of performance out of it. I wish I had a good review of this car. My experience with my very first cadillac that I worked very hard for, has been highly disappointing.

2020 Cadillac CT4 Premium Luxury 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
My All Wheel drive Premium Luxury CT4 surprised me by how well it handles on the road, both straight way and especially curves. In a 6 inch snow this past week, I actually felt safer the way it hugged the road and handled than my 4 wheel drive truck.Safety features galore.Even though there is not much room in back for passengers, by moving the front seats up.some provided enough leg … room. The 4 cylinder is surprisingly spiffy and also gets over 30 mpg on the road.
Way better than expected!

2020 Cadillac CT4 Luxury 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I have a CT4 Luxury. Before this car I had a 2014 CTS Coupe (3.6L) which I also bought new. While this car is a little smaller, it is so much to drive. It really feels like a sports car. I don't bother with surveys, in this case it was worth my time. I first drove a CT5, I prefer the CT4.
My only negative comment it my own fault. My last Cad had the BOSE system. I miss that, the … Premium Sound is OK, but it is noticeably not Bose.
Great Gas Mileage

2022 Cadillac CT4 Luxury 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
The car rides very well with good handling and a very responsive to the gas peddle
I drove to the dealership one day which is a sixty mile round trip. I got 42 mpg driving at 70 mph on a streight and level highway. That a lot more than I expected.
